Synchronization properties of oscillatory ensembles under the passive elements impact

Valentin Petrov

In this paper we focus on the influence of passive elements the synchronization properties of ensembles of coupled nonidentical oscillators. It is demonstrated that the introduction of passive elements may lead to both an increase or decrease of the global synchronization threshold. Apart from it we show that the steady state of the passive element is a key parameter which defines how this passive element affects the synchronization properties of the oscillatory ensemble.
